I took one of my cylinders to a friend of mine who has an autobody shop. I
don't know anything about design spec or what people will or won't fill (never
had a problem) but my friend knew exactly what I wanted. He used a base coat
of primer with zinc in it to prevent rusting (stuff they use on steel hulls,
he said) and then used some kind of latex with quite a bit of elasticity in it
to allow for expansion of the cylinder. It really looks great, too.

If you or your paint shop do anything real crazy, like a LOT of sanding,
sandblasting, or heat, consider a hydro test after the paint job.
